Camp Essentials
The time you spend preparing your little ones for camp can
be a great opportunity to spend quality time together before they go. We put
together this list of a few special items that can go along on the journey.
Camp List
A great backpack
While Dakine backpacks may be a bit more pricey than the
average sack, the quality and construction makes this bag last and last. I
bought my Dakine years ago and it still looks brand new. Like the boy’s pack
featured below, my pack has two adjustable straps on the front which are
designed to hold a skateboard. I actually use them to strap in my towel after a
day at the beach, that way no sand gets inside my bag!
1.
Boy: Dakine
Point Wet/Dry: This pack is equipped with a waterproof pocket designed for
a wetsuit, but is perfect for a camper’s soggy swimsuit. We like it in the
Fremont print.
2.
Girl: Dakine Prom 25L:
Comes complete with insulated cooler and deployable water bottle pockets
perfect when hunger strikes on the trail. The Lolani print is our favorite.
Shoes
Back in the day, my water shoes were not only a style
nightmare but also offered about as much foot protection as a sock. These new
shoes are quick drying, with strong rubber soles. So feel free to skip through
a stream and run up rocky terrain with no worries.
Hydration
Bobble water bottles filter water in every sip with a
replaceable carbon filter. “Every filter equates to 300 single-serve bottles.
After a year, you’ve removed thousands of bottles from the environment.”
Name Bubbles
Of course you want everything you send off to camp actually
making its way back home. Label your camp gear, toiletries, and backpack with
our waterproof, weatherproof labels. They even stand up to sun block and bug
repellent!
Mail a letter the day before your camper heads out so it arrives on
his/her first full day of camp.
